Verification of Payee in Supplier Onboarding

Supplier onboarding sets the bank details that drive every future payment to that vendor. Getting them verified at the start — and on every change — stops bad data and fraud at the source.

Verification of Payee in Supplier Onboarding

Key takeaways

  • Onboarding captures the bank details used for all future supplier payments.
  • Verifying at onboarding stops bad or fraudulent data entering the master file.
  • Re-verifying on every change closes the gap fraudsters exploit later.

Supplier (or vendor) onboarding is where bank details first enter your systems. From that point on, every payment to the supplier uses those details. If they are wrong — through error or fraud — that mistake gets repeated on every payment until someone notices.

Verify at the source

The cleanest place to catch a wrong IBAN is the moment it is captured. Running Verification of Payee during onboarding confirms the account name matches the supplier you are setting up, before the details reach your master data.

Onboarding is not a one-off

Most fraud happens through a later change of details, not the original setup. Re-verify whenever bank details change, not just at onboarding.
